Knowing what we now know about the inner meanings of the Implicit Order of the Hebrew Alphabet we can play the game, and ask, for instance, what does the word "I" mean? In Hebrew, "I am" is spelled "Ani" : Aleph-Noun-Yod : Infinite life-death consciousness in biological life in time. Anokhi, I Am, spelled Aleph-Noun-Kaf-Yod : infinite conscioiusness in biological life/existence in a particular container in existence/time. How interesting. "I" contains both timeless Aleph and its opposite in time, Yod, existence, on the two sides of Noun, a biological life. The Kaf of Anokhi adds a particular biological container / support. One | AHYH | I am Difference between Ani and Anokhi Rav SR Hirsch (Shemos 2:20, on the first commandment) says that "ani" refers to the person in contrast to other people, whereas "anokhi" refers to the person in relation to the listener. The Malbim (on Bereishis 27) and similarly Shadal write that "ani" is the normal word for "I", whereas "anokhi" is used to emphasize "and not others". So in general, "ani" would mean that the emphasis of the phrase is on the who, whereas "anokhi" would emphasize what it was that I did or that happened to me. (In the Zohar, it says that Hashem's "Ani" refers to the Lower Throne [Malkhus as it is manifest within creation], and His use of "Anokhi" refers to the Upper Throne [comprised of Binah as connected to Malkhus]. |
